Dispensing system for beverages and other liquids
Abstract
Abstract A LIQUID DISPENSING SYSTEM IS SHOWN WHEREIN A PLURALITY OF CONTAINERS OF WATER, SYRUPS AND LIQUORS ARE CONNECTED TO A SOURCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE UNDER PRESSURE, AND WHICH HAVE FLUID OUTLETS CONNECTED TO PORTED DISPENSING HEADS CONTAINING PUSHBUTTON CONTROLLED VALVES FOR THE DIFFERENT LIQUIDS. THE CO2 PROVIDES THE PRESSURE FOR FORCING LIQUID FROM A CONTAINER AND THROUGH A DISPENSING HEAD WHEN THE ASSOCIATED PUSHBOTTON IS OPERATED. FOR THE LIQUORS HYDRAULIC MEASURE CONTROL VALVES ARE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE CONTAINERS AND RESPECTIVE PORTS IN THE LIQUOR DISPENSING HEAD. FOR OBTAINING CARBONATED WATER, DIFFERENT VERSIONS AND DISCLOSED WHICH INCLUDE A CARBONATOR CONNECTED BETWEEN THE WATER CONTAINER AND A DISPENSING HEAD FOR UTILIZING THE CO2 PRESSURE AS THE FORCE FOR MIXING THE CO2 WITH AND CARBONATING THE WATER, AND INSULATED CONTAINERS FOR EITHER OR BOTH CARBONATED WATER AND PLAIN WATER, WHEREIN THE CO2 PRESSURE IS UTILIZED TO FORCE EITHER TYPE OF WATER FROM THE CONTAINER UPON OPERATION OF THE ASSOCIATED PUSHBUTTOM AT THE DISPENSING HEAD.
